DRAFT | Proposed NCWorks Commission Policy Statement CPS 04-2025

This document (including attachments) outlines the proposed NCWorks Commission Policy Statement CPS 04-2025. The subject of the policy statement is the "Registered Apprenticeship Expenditure Requirement for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Funding."

Purpose: The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) encourages collaboration between WIOA funding and apprenticeships to support job seekers and employers. This policy directs local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) to spend 6% of their non-administrative WIOA Title I Adult and Youth funds annually on pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship-related activities, beginning with Program Year 2025 funding.
